Leave No Trace Principles

"The 7 Principles of Leave No Trace provide an easily understood framework of minimum impact practices for anyone visiting the outdoors. The Principles can be applied anywhere — from remote wilderness areas, to local parks and even in your backyard. Each Principle covers a specific topic and provides detailed information to empower you to minimize your impacts.

The 7 Principles are well-established and widely known but not static. 

Leave No Trace continually examines, evaluates, and reshapes the Principles and conducts research to ensure that they are up to date with the latest insights from biologists, land managers, and other leaders in outdoor education." from lnt.org website. 

The basic principles are further explained in the website explaining in detail what the principles mean.

These principles were actually derived from old cultures which may have been forgotten.

Our lola's actually told us how to behave when it comes to handling water sources and others. 

We have forgotten those basic principles, thinking that the "more educated" knows. However we cannot hand over our lives just like that, we are humans, created in the image of an intellectual being. We must think independently. 

Let us go back to our principles, as embodied above.
